CNOTUnitObjective

qiskit.transpiler.synthesis.aqc.CNOTUnitObjective(num_qubits, cnots)

Bases: ApproximatingObjective, ABC (opens in a new tab)

A base class for a problem definition based on CNOT unit. This class may have different subclasses for objective and gradient computations.

Parameters

• num_qubits (int (opens in a new tab)) – number of qubits.
• cnots (np.ndarray) – a CNOT structure to be used in the optimization procedure.

Attributes

num_cnots

Returns: A number of CNOT units to be used by the approximate circuit.

num_thetas

Returns: Number of parameters (angles) of rotation gates in this circuit.

target_matrix

Returns: a matrix being approximated
